Fightmag (stylized as FIGHTMAG) is an Australian online magazine that covers combat sports (Kickboxing, Muay Thai, Boxing and Mixed Martial Arts) internationally. [1] It publishes pieces including news, video, opinion, reviews, events, style and blogs.

History


Fightmag was founded in August 2005 by the President of the World Kickboxing Network Stephane Cabrera. It was originally based in France, being oriented for Francophonie. In a year time it evolved internationally and the publishing started in two languages, English and French.[2]

Since 2009 Fightmag is operated out of Australia and published in English. In 2015 Fightmag marked the date of its tenth anniversary.[3] In October 2016 Fightmag has been cited in the FightBox HD in which it was called "a leading online fight magazine out of Australia".[4]

The team of authors led by Belarusian-Australian kickboxer Parviz Iskenderov [5], comprises predominantly athletes, including several World Champions in kickboxing and boxing, such as Nathan Corbett and Daniel Dawson, among others, as well as Australian model Lilian Dikmans [6].
